Lincoln homes

Lincoln has grown quickly from a small town, reaching nearly 50,000 residents by the 2020 census. Much of the city is made up of neighborhoods built since the late 1990s, including Twelve Bridges and the Sun City Lincoln Hills active-adult community, with new construction still underway. Older homes near downtown add raised foundations, older systems, and past remodels to the mix.

What Matt pays attention to in Lincoln

• Aging original equipment. Many homes built in the late 1990s and 2000s still have their original water heater, furnace, or air conditioner. Matt records the visible age and condition so you can plan ahead.
• Tile roofs. Concrete tiles can crack, slip, or break. Matt looks for damaged tiles and for debris in valleys and gutters.
• New construction and builder warranties. An inspection before your builder warranty ends (often called an 11th-month inspection) can catch items the builder should fix while they are still covered.
• Safety for downsizers. Matt notes visible safety items such as stair railings, trip hazards, and smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, which matter in any home and especially when planning to age in place.

Inspections for buyers, sellers, and homeowners

Matt inspects single-family homes, condos, townhomes, duplexes to fourplexes, ADUs, and manufactured homes. Whether you are buying, preparing to sell, or checking a newer home before the warranty runs out, Matt will confirm the scope and price with you directly.

About Lincoln

Lincoln’s townsite was laid out in 1859 along the California Central Railroad and named for Charles Lincoln Wilson, one of the railroad’s organizers. Local clay deposits led to the founding of Gladding, McBean & Co. here in 1875, and the city incorporated in 1890.

Local amenities include historic downtown Lincoln, McBean Park and the city’s other municipal parks, and Lincoln Regional Airport.

Public schools are run by Western Placer Unified School District. Attendance boundaries can change, so check with the district about a specific address.
